CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the appliance
See General safety instructions.
Cleaning the surfaces
To keep the surfaces in good condition, they
should be cleaned regularly after use. Let them
cool first.
Ordinary daily cleaning
Always and only use specific products that do
not contain abrasives or chlorine-based acids.
Pour the product onto a damp cloth and wipe
the surface, rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft
cloth or a microfibre cloth.
Food stains or residues
Do not use steel sponges and sharp scrapers as
they will damage the surface.
Use normal, non-abrasive products and a
wooden or plastic tool, if necessary. Rinse
thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or a
microfibre cloth.
Do not allow residues of sugary foods (such as
jam) to set inside the oven. If left to set for too
long, they might damage the enamel lining of
the oven.
Cleaning the glass ceramic hob
See General safety instructions.
Clean and maintain the hob using an ordinary
glass ceramic cleaning product. Always follow
the manufacturer's instructions. The silicon in
these products creates a protective, water-
repellent membrane which also resists dirt. All
marks stay on the membrane and can therefore
be removed easily. After cleaning, dry the
surface with a clean cloth. Make sure that there
is no detergent left on the cooking surface as it
might undergo an aggressive reaction when
heated up and could modify the structure of the
cooking surface.
Food stains or residues
Light coloured marks from pans with aluminium
bases can be easily cleaned off with a cloth
moistened in vinegar. Remove any burnt-on
residues after cooking; then rinse with water and
dry thoroughly with a clean cloth. Dirt, which
may have fallen on the hob while cleaning
22 - CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
lettuce or potatoes, can scratch the hob when
moving pans. Consequently, remove any dirt
from the cooking surface immediately. Changes
in colour do not affect the operation and
stability of the glass. These are not alterations to
the material of the hob but just residues which
have not been removed and have then
carbonised. Shiny surfaces can form due to the
bases of pans, especially aluminium ones,
rubbing on the surface, and due to the use of
unsuitable detergents. They are difficult to
remove using conventional cleaning products. It
may be necessary to repeat the cleaning
process several times. Use of corrosive
detergents or rubbing of pan bases can wear
away the decoration on the hob over time and
contribute to the formation of stains.
We recommend the use of cleaning
products distributed by the
manufacturer.
After cleaning, dry the appliance
thoroughly to prevent any water or
detergent from interfering with its
operation or creating unsightly marks.
Knobs
Do not use aggressive products
containing alcohol or products for
cleaning steel and glass when cleaning
the knobs, as these products could
cause permanent damage.
The knobs should be cleaned with a soft cloth
dampened with lukewarm water, then dried
carefully. They can be removed by pulling them
out from their housings.
Cleaning the door
